	Related Content New York City Interactive Radar Boston Interactive Radar United States Alert Map Your Photos A late-December blizzard pummeling the Eastern Seaboard is piling up the snow along the Mid-Atlantic coast and the Interstate 95 corridor from New York to Boston. In addition, strong winds are blowing this fresh snowpack. This is causing major travel problems across the Northeast and into the Mid-Atlantic. Waves of snow continue to fall across the Delmarva Peninsula, New Jersey, the New York metro area and southern and eastern New England. Blizzard conditions are likely as winds gust above 35 mph, causing white-out conditions through late this morning. Numerous states of emergency have been reported from Pennsylvania to New England. This means, unless urgent, do not travel. Amtrak has cancelled all service between Boston and New York City, as well as limiting service between Richmond and Newport News, Va. Even where trains run across the Northeast Corridor, there have been widespread delays on Sunday. Flights are also severely affected by the blizzard. Bradley Airport near Hartford, Conn., JFK Airport near New York City, and Newark, N.J., are all closed this morning. Flights in and out of the major East Coast airports are also being delayed or cancelled starting later this evening. Travelers should check with their airlines for the latest information on flights. Most airlines are waiving cancellation and change fees. The roads are no better. Accidents have been plentiful across the New York metro area, causing severe backups along the major highways of the region. In New England, roads are snow covered and have led to numerous accidents. Interstate 95 from Philadelphia northward, the Garden State Parkway, Interstate 80 in New Jersey, Interstate 84 in Connecticut and New York, and Interstate 93 in Massachusetts and New Hampshire are among the roads that are extremely dangerous this morning. Travelers are urged to remain indoors today to allow road crews to clear the snow. Some of the storm totals so far include: Lyndhurst, N.J.: 29 inches Elizabeth, N.J.: 26.5 inches Cape May, N.J.: 18 inches Tuxedo, N.Y.: 26 inches Brooklyn, N.Y.: 17.5 inches Narragansett, R.I.: 6.5 inches Saugus, Mass.: 12.3 inches Selbyville, Del.: 11.3 inches Snow Hill, Md.: 10 inches Despite these gaudy snowfall totals, accumulations inland from western Massachusetts to eastern Pennsylvania and along the Interstate 95 corridor across the Mid-Atlantic paled by comparison. Totals were 4 to 6 inches in the Philadelphia area, while metro Washington, D.C., generally totaled an inch or less of snow.
